For wildfire victims, this whole process can be emotional and a lot of work, but FEMA reps say they've got the money, $1 million for Cleveland County, so it's worth it to come get some help.
NOBLE, Oklahoma -
The FEMA disaster
recovery center opened Wednesday in Noble, Okla. to help neighbors in Cleveland
County impacted by August wildfires.
The
wildfires happened two months ago. But neighbors coming out of this center tell
News 9 they've got friends still staying in tents. The problem is that they don't
think they will qualify for FEMA money or they don't know it's available.
That's why FEMA
and the state want to get the word out that there's help and money for the
folks in Cleveland County.
